I was looking for a crucifix to hang on the wall above my desk. It never occurred to me that this would be a difficult thing to find.
Now, honestly. I can’t decide what I think is stranger: the head of Christ growing out of the bark like some kind of miracle knothole apparation; the Crucifixion as it might have occurred in the bead aisle at Michael’s; or this version below, in which the Cross Itself appears to have been crucified.
I can’t say that I’m feeling as spoiled for choice as I had hoped. On the other hand, until now, I don’t think I fully appreciated the serene straightforwardness of the blank wall. There’s nothing imaginative or inspirational about it, but suddenly that seems okay.
